Has TV distroyed communication among friends and family?
Although at some level televisions may have given people some
negative effect, it is so superficial to say that they have destroyed
communication among friends and family.
Television is an inescapable part of modern culture. We depend on
TV for entertainment, news, education, culture, weather, sports-and
even music, because of the advent of music videos. As Televisions
have been more and more widely used, people have already made a
lot of benefit.
With the recent explosion in satellite and digital specialty channels,
we now have access to varieties of both good quality and
inappropriate TV content. Things turn out to be that in this crowded
television environment, we are able to pick out high quality TV
programs, and whenever possible, enjoy them together as a family.
Because of its ability to create powerful touchstones, TV enables
people to share cultural experiences with others. What is more,
shared viewing gives family members of all ages an opportunity to
spend time together. Especially parents can use TV as a catalyst to
get kids reading- following up on TV programs by getting books on
the same subjects or reading authors whose work was adapted for
the programs.
Furthermore, televisions are giving us an incredible amount of upto-date knowledge and information, which makes it possible for us
to be aware of potential dangers and even save ourselves. One great
American mother saved her 2 years old little girl because she usually
watches Discovery Channel!----- She said that when she came into
her baby`s room at night the baby was sleeping very soundly.
Suddenly a special insect appeared and seemed biting one of the
baby`s arms. The mother took her baby to the hospital at once, for
she realized that this was one of the very poison insects which she
once learned from the Discovery Channel. Thanks for the mother`s
knowledge and determination the baby survived and if it was 2

hours late there could be no hope left!
In conclusion, how much benefit we made from televisions is
absolutely more than the harm they may bring. Televisions are merely


among many other factors that affect communication, and are
definitely not the main cause of degradation.
